Back in mid-December, Golden State Warriors coach, Steve Kerr took a risk. He messed with Stephen Curry’s minutes. After two MVP awards, and more accolades than I care to list here, Stephen Curry got bumped out of his normal rotation. Instead of playing the entire 1st and fourth quarters, Curry has recently been used to anchor the second unit and then blended back in for the closing minutes of quarters.
What this means is that he is now “staggered” from Kevin Durant more often, something that the team has played with multiple times - sometime choosing to pair the two together almost exclusively.
